At the last meeting of the Willamette Valley Wedding Professionals, we had the opportunity to meet at The Grand Ballroom & The Historic Grand Theater in Salem. It was my first time at the venue and I learned some information about it's history, pricing, and even got a tour at the end of the meeting. I was really impressed with the venue they have to offer for the price. The Theater has been recently renovated and can seat up to 380 guests. The theater style seating is arranged so that all of your guests can see the ceremony! It's only $550 to rent this room, and includes use of the theater, podium, lighting, and tables in the lobby and/or stage. For only an additional $100 you can use their equipment which includes an 18' x 24' movie screen, DVD player and projector, sound system, sound board, CD player, light board, microphones, and a sound technician to set up and run the equipment during your event. The theater is a large space, so it's easy to get creative and literally "set the stage" for your wedding ceremony!As for the reception, it's just an easy elevator ride up to The Grand Ballroom! The ballroom seats up to 200 guests, plus 14 at a head table, and is set up perfectly for an 
indoor reception. It has separate areas for dining, food, and dancing. The large dance area has beautiful pecan wood floors, an art Deco fireplace, twinkle lights, paper lanterns, and a mirror ball in the center to tie it all together. Another plus about the ballroom is the neutral wall colors and window coverings, so it won't conflict with your wedding colors, no matter what they are! Some venues have a lot of restrictions and extra fees, but this venue is very open about the rules and prices. They allow you to use your caterer of choice, bring in food from a local store, or that you made yourself! Also, if there is no event the night/day before, they allow you to come and set up early for no additional charge! They also include the tables and chairs in their rental fee and do the custom set up according to your specifications.
Having a wedding in Oregon can be tricky with the weather...and when you're planning a wedding you can never guarantee "nice weather." It might rain, be really hot, or even windy. Well, with the ballroom neither of those will ruin your plans! It's an indoor venue and has really good air conditioning, so you'll be sure to keep all your guests comfortable no matter the weather! If it is nice weather and you're looking for some nice outdoor pictures as well, there are numerous parks close by. The ballroom rents for $2,150 on Saturdays and $1,950 on Fridays. This includes a $150 refundable cleaning/damage deposit. They are presently having a promotion for $200 off your 2009 or 2010 event for the ballroom! This is not valid for events already booked or weekday events (applies to Friday, Saturday, and Sunday events only). You can contact The Grand Ballroom and The Historic Grand Theater at 503.362.9185 or email them at Events@GrandBallroom.info. They are located at 187 High Street NE in Salem. Stop by soon to check it out and reserve your date!
